LIVEMINT - Anupam Mittal, founder of Shaadi.com and a member of a task force against Google's Play Store billing system, criticizes Google's 30% fee for using its payment system as detrimental to businesses, especially given the additional advertising costs on the app store. He calls for reforms in light of Google's dominant market behavior and recent legal setbacks, advocating for lower fees and alternative payment systems. Mittal warns against the long-term effects of Google's policies on local businesses and suggests that alternatives could quickly replace Google if necessary. He also contrasts Google's practices with Apple's, noting the latter's smaller market share and ecosystem-specific policies.
